Aqua Chi

What is it?

Your feet are placed into a special water solution and then electrically charged to produce an ions. An ion is a charged atom or molecule that has gained or lost an electron, thus creating an electro-magnetic field capable of neutralizing oppositely charged particles such as toxins in the human body. The ions produced by the detox foot spa create a gentle vibration that aids the release of unwanted toxin particles through the pores on the sole of the foot. There are over 2,000 pores on each foot!

Ion producing technology has been around for several decades, but the secret to its successful use in body detoxification is the production of positive and negative ions in the same treatment. The control head of the aqua chi foot spa unit delivers an electrical current through the array that is placed into the water alongside the feet. The low-level direct current to the array causes the metals within the array in combination with water and salt to generate positively and negatively charged ions by separating the oxygen and hydrogen components of water. The aqua chi foot spa system allows the negative ions to travel through the body and attach themselves to toxic substances with the opposite charge. Since most toxins in our body are positive in charge, they will be conveniently neutralized and drawn out by the negative ions produced by the aqua chi foot spa. Toxin particles are pulled through the skin and out of the body via osmosis and neutralized because they are attracted by the highly concentrated ion field in the aqua chi foot spa water.

This is what the water looks like before the aqua chi foot spa.

And this is what the water looks like after about a 30 minutes.

Is aqua chi for everyone?

After a session most people experience feeling lighter, a greater sense of overall well being, increased energy and improved mental focus. Many people with pain, edema, gout, swollen or deteriorating joints report considerable symptomatic relief from their detoxification foot spa session or sessions.

The detox foot spa draws toxins from the bloodstream and may also cause the loss of electrolytes (calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium). As a precaution, patients are encouraged to take a multivitamin supplement and been properly hydrated prior to their appointment.

However, though you may feel relief, it should be noted that the detoxification foot spa treatments have not been proven to heal or cure diseases and conditions directly. The role of the detoxification foot spa should be viewed as a relaxing alternative therapy for reducing unwanted toxins from the body. It is only an aide in the healing process carried out naturally by the body's immune system. Detoxification and cleansing technology assists the body to detoxifying its organs and tissues.

Though not dangerous, persons having a metal joint implant may find exposure to the electromagnetic field generated by the aqua chi foot spa to be uncomfortable. In the event of discomfort, stop using the aqua chi foot spa immediately. Persons taking prescription medication should take that medication four hours prior to or after having the procedure. Because a aqua chi foot spa is designed to eliminate toxins that the kidney and liver can not eliminate on their own, it may be used by persons on dialysis or by those diagnosed with diabetes or congestive heart failure. However, persons under the care of a doctor should consult with their physician prior to undergoing detoxification procedures as part of their wellness program.

Furthermore, there are some person who should not use the aqua chi foot spa. These include:

• Persons with a Pacemaker or any battery-operated or electrical implant
• Pregnant women or women who are nursing
• Persons with removed organs, especially colon
• Persons taking medication, the absence of which would mentally or physically incapacitate them (such as from Psychotic episodes, seizures, and so forth)

Finally, persons with low blood sugar should eat before the procedure.
